I am going to be getting 2in belltech drop springs and the coil spacer to correct the s-lean and 3in blocks. Am I going to have any prob. w/ the coils?

I wouldn't think so Jon. Find an alignment guy that doesn't mind doing lowered rides. Lots of 'em are beotches!

See I can do the drop and I have free lifetime alignments. I just read somewhere that I would bottom out.

Well hell, I can bottom out if it ain't lowered. Sure, lowering makes it easier to bottom out.

you should get some drop shocks since your lowering it with coils, if you lower it with spindles, the susp geometry stays the same and no shocks are needed unless yours are shot

Will just coils be ok for like a year?

i have some EIBACH $100+shipping,installed for 3mon.they said they would drop my(v6)1.4" but it was more like 2.4"

with 2" drop coils just have the shop set the allignment to zq8 settings.and remove the rear bumpstops brackets and get some 1 1/2" bumps.and as layitlow said you will need drop shocks for the front.the backs you can leave,but you should match them all the way around.

I know squat on what will be better on the butt for ride comfort.But the spindles for a 2 inch drop would be easier and wouldn't need new shocks.And if the shops tech doesn't wanna align it or gives ya a hassle he's lazy and you don't want him doing it.Like stated with 2' coils you can get ZQ8 alignment spec and all Hunter equipment as of I think 2000 has a boat load of alignment specs for quite a few lowered vehicles.Hope it works out for you and keep us updated.

I know sometimes it is a bad thing to go cheaper but I have free lifetime alignments and I plan on getting spindles then 1in drop springs. I just wonder how bad this will be if I drive around on them till summer?

if you have trouble getting an alignment, jsut tell them it is a half inch lower that the factory sport option. that might get them to align it for ya
